Hog market moves into clean-up phase with spring pig arrivals
Pocahontas County Extension notes hog receipts run ahead of last year due to early-farrowed litters while total spring crop is smaller. June crop suggests continued higher slaughter into fall. July prices unlikely to match last year, August and September easing. Kutish cautions against holding hogs to 200–220 pounds as markets expand with spring pig releases.

Fish Study Reports Bass Abundant at Little Wall Lake
Carlander notes bass dominate the catch with seven to nine inch fish and some reaching a pound by summer. Crappies run six to seven inches, bull heads are plentiful, bluegills scarce, and channel catfish reach 14 and 18 inches. Students use pillnets and seines while the State Conservation Commission stocked bass and northern pike previously, with few major stockings recently.
